Pundits can stop talking about the race part of the election.......
and get over it.

They are starting to wear me out. It is obvious that Barack is Black. Doh.

But in addition, Barack is the President-Elect of the United States of America.

2. It annoyed me
Had to keep changing away from MSNBC, Hillary got it in her release, but the talking heads just kept focusing on race rather than Obama's true message.

4. Guess they are going to stay clueless, until the monopoly is broken up.....
and they are given some rules of the road.

6. It hasn't even been ONE day, and it IS kind of a big deal.
I doubt it's the only thing that will identify his Presidency, but don't expect people to stop talking about it any time soon.

7. Frenchiecat, congratulations for work well done.
Yes, change came to America and it will take some longer than others to understand what that change means. Those entrenched in the old models and scripts will have to tear them up because new ones are being written. I'm so tired and happy watching the horrible dark shadow over this nation start moving away.

Thank you, again, for all you have done.

8. Good lord, no kidding. I really felt sorry for Eugene Robinson on MSNBC
Every time I walked into the room that MSNBC was on, someone was asking him to answer some dumb race related question. Honestly, I walked in the middle of David Gregory or a drunk Chris Matthews asking Robinson what Obama's *face* represented! Robinson looked like the only sober man in the room and very much at the end of his patience.
